Escaped from the real world (killer project last four weeks) and finally had a chance to visit my favorite harbor.

Wonderful pics Folks! :up::up::up:

Edit2: sorted that out. Hey, how come my pics suck vs. everyone else's?

My guess would be bad JPG compression. Are you using MS Paint to compress your pictures from BMP to JPG? If you are, that's why. To make them look better, get a PhotoBucket account and upload your BMP pictures to there where it will automatically change them to JPG, and better I might add.

To give you an idea of what good vs. bad is, I'll post up some pictures.

Photobucket Compression:

Paint Compression:

Even though these aren't SHIV pics (lost my hard drive), you can probably see the difference between good and bad compression and in SHIV it makes even more of a difference. These pictures are from the game Test Drive Unlimited. You can see some artifacts from bad compression around the vents on the hood.

Sorry for not posting SHIV pics, but I didn't have any.

Also, for some reason, I couldn't get both pictures to show up in the post so I just posted URLs.

1942
Jan 25, Pearl Harbor
USS Trout (SS-202) Completed shakedown, ready for patrol orders. XO Robert Morton reports crew is nervous but as ready as they'll ever be for their first war patrol.

Jan 26
16:00 Leaving Pearl Harbor behind.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img16-6-2007_23.jpg
We have orders to patrol the East China Sea. Will top off the tanks at Midway, ETA 4 days.

Jan 29
21:36 Arrived Midway ahead of schedule. Refueling overnight, departing for patrol ASAP, no time to waste.

Feb 8
Assumed standard operating procedure - submerged during daylight hours to avoid air patrols, recharge the batteries at night.

Feb 11
Picked up radio Washington late tonight. Heard on the radio that the Japs are closing in on Singapore and MacArthur is holding out on the Philippines. Hopefully our patrol in the East China Sea can intercept men and material bound for the Philippines and further points southwest.

Feb 13
22:31 Arrived at the designated patrol area, weather calm.

Feb 15
00:37 XO Bob Morton woke me to tell me we received an encrypted 'for the captain's eyes only' message. Decoded ULTRA message reported convoy 20nm north of our present position, course SSW, 8kts. What luck! Who knew they'd come to us? Ordered 20kts and a N intercept course.

1:15 Warship spotted. We reduced speed to 9 knots to limit the phosphorecent bow spray as much as possible, also turned to WNW to close on apparent WSW convoy course. Intend to close distance on the surface and make periscope attack. Partly cloudy night with minimum acceptable light for night time scope attack, but too bright for surface attack.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_0.jpg

1:34 DD turns towards us and has bone in her teeth, signal light is rapidly challenging us. Crash dive to 200 feet, found a thermal layer at approx. 190 feet. New course SW.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_0-1.jpg

1:42 Back at periscope depth, Thunder Below! 4 depth charges heard well aft. Resuming intercept course on convoy.

1:47 Convoy is spotted either zig zagging or changing course. They are alerted to our presence. Approx. 5 small/medium cargo freighters. Probably shouldn't have tried to close directly on the surface. There was plenty of night left to withdraw some and end around at high speed.

Will try to make the best of the situation. Intend to split forward bow tubes between a medium freighter and nearest small freighter. Will reserve stern tubes for any coup de grace shots or defense against the DD.

1:49 3 more depth charges heard to starboard and well aft.

2:07 3 bow shots from a mediocre TDC solution due to target's constant course changes. 2nd and 3rd shot spread 1 and 2 degrees to the right. Dove to 90 feet and changed course to due W immediately after 3rd fish left the tube.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_1.jpg

2:09 2 torpedo impacts heard!

2:14 Returned to periscope depth slowly, DD still searching aft. 2 Bow torpedoes fired at small freighter, 600 yards away. Mediocre TDC solution again due to target constant course changes. 2nd shot spread to the right.

2:14.xx
1st torpedo was thought to be a hit, but it's run was at least 5 seconds too short for a hit and it looked to be well forward of the target. It must have exploded early. 2nd shot is a hit! Dive back to 90 feet.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_1-1.jpg

2:17 Returned to periscope depth, DD is still confused and searching the wrong area. A quick sweep of the area reveals our first 2 hits crippled the medium freighter. It appears to be dead in the water with a small fire. Our 2nd attack started a large fire on the small freighter, but it is still steaming on.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_1-2.jpg

2:23 DD has looped around aft of us to rejoin small freighter that is blazing. Will deliver coup de grace to crippled medium freighter with remaining bow tube and immediately dive to 150 feet.

2:27 Crippled medium freighter still not heard breaking up. She's a tough old thing. Intend to secure from silent running and reload at least 1 forward tube, then swing around for another coup de grace shot, this time from the stern tubes.

2:36 2 stern shots at the crippled ship. 2 impact, the freighter breaks up. Estimated 4000 tons, Biyo Maru.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_1-3.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_1-4.jpg

2:38 Crash dive to 220 feet, under thermal layer, and rigged for silent running. Pinging is heard. Was anyone expecting the Japs to have active sonar?

2:52 No depth charges dropped, but plenty of pinging heard as the DD closed to something under 500 yards of us. Currently the DD is moving away as we head E away from the convoy. Secured from silent running.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yurkb/sh4/AAR/SH4Img17-6-2007_2.jpg

Red X marks our first sinking!

2:56 Turned in. Left night orders for Bob Morton - Proceed east until morning, reload all tubes. Surface at XO's discretion. If anything comes up or you have any questions, wake me. Excellent performance by the crew tonight. We'll have to go over our procedures for closing on convoys at night. We should have been able to avoid being spotted.

The hunt for the Yamato, Part 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UevLuykMRTs

[stu762]

Ok I suspect this mission is an anomally but it's december 42 and I am doing my patrol off the Marianas .. sink a few merchants with the deck gun ... ho hum nothing too exciting there.Then I look at my zoomed out map ... lo and behold, a task force, heading roughly my way ... hmmm I think to myself .. gotta have a piece of that!

So I plot my intercept to run parallel to what I estimate their continued course to be (I'm often wrong about this though and patrol empty seas forever), I hit time acceleration and wait for a while running at flank (easy settings cos I am a crap seaman - so no fuel running out issues) Anyways, my radarman reports contacts off the port bow - long range, so I check my ext camera - and I see an ocean of big bad Japanese warships, 2 Yamatos 2 Kongos and an Ise with accompanying cruisers and DDs plus tankers ... Imagine my grin :D

I slink into a decent firing point - loose off 4 bow tubes at the Yamato - hoping to slow it down if not sink it outright, and 2 bow tubes at 1 of the Kongo's. I then dive to 100 metersand hit all stop hoping to reload and be lucky! Well lucky wasnt the word :) after a bit of DD attention and some creeping away at 1 knot I come to periscope depth to see a load of lifeboats where roughly the Yamato was - exxxxxcellent!

The Kongo's are moving away but slower than the rest of the convoy - now I only launched at one of them so I am a bit confused at this, but here come the DD's again so time to leg it - next thing I know on my attack map there are little blue crosses flying around the place. "OK this make a nice change for me to get air cover" i think then I check my scope again - and they are diving bombing the Kongos ... leading to the 2 of them being dead in the water waiting for my stern fish to say hello!!

Anyway, you get the gist of where this is going, I ended up with 2 kongos and a Yamato plus assorted merchants to my name!! Ah happy days.

It's easy to get the above screenshots. Just go to the bridge and press Shift and F2 at the same time. You might want to pause time to make manuvering around easier.

Nice pics steed, nice way to finish off an otherwise uneventful patrol. Sometimes that happens.

[switch.dota]

Here's my latest achivement.

I've been playing a lil' SClass for three patrols now. I managed to sink two Kongos and crippled a third so far. I would've had the third one too, since it was dead in the water with his friends long gone, but I was out of torpedoes and 220 rounds of my deck gun didn't scratch it (before you ask how the hell does a sgar boat gun it out with a BB and not die, know the BB had a blind spot due to aft flooding).

The lil sub also is the proud sinker of a few merchants. Nothing special, except this particular shot. The shallow waters of western South China Sea make it both dangereous to engage convoys and fun to sink lonely merchants. Here's the aftemath of an S-Class - med merchant encoutner:

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/549/sclass04ir3.jpg
http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/9936/sclass05bn3.jpg

The same little sub also sank a small freghter. With the deck gun. Yes, nothing really special. Except for the fact that it was all done at point blank: the two ships brushed together for the whole duration of the fight. No damage to either, thanks to the no-damage-on-collision issue of SHIV.

Those stinkin' gun boats. :damn: It must be a bug in the depth of the torpedo setting as I have set the torps as shallow as they will go and they still go under the hull about 6 feet, and that's from 800-1000 yards in clear weather yet. :-? Never been able to torp one yet so I just duke it out with them on the surface with the deck gun, or just ignore them. :shifty:

[switch.dota]

Perhaps the well knows Mk 14 depth issues? Early war Mk14s have difficulty hitting destroyers in calm seas: either with default or minimal depth setting they will, more likely than not, go under the keel without detonating.

I clearly remember setting a Mk 10 to shallow as it go then while watching it with the external cam noticed it ran literally just below the surface. I think it could even contact-detonate on Gun Boats if it runs like that all the time.



EDIT: Here's a shot taken from my latest convoy encounter. Contrary to what you guys might think, there are just two ships in the picture: a Gato class and an ex-Destroyer.

It took almost 4 days to figure out and make just a decent rust texture! Just gonna have to make a little tuning and I might be happy with it

But if things work out well enought this should be ready for release in 2-4 days

PS. I know, the conning tower has a stock texture

OK, here's my most successful patrol.

It was late 1944, and I had just started for home at Guam until I picked up something on my sonar, or at least, that's what the operator called in. I had 3 torps left after taking out an entire Japanese fleet of 2 battleships and 1 carrier, and I was somewhat reluctant on attacking the vessel because of the currency it costs to buy the special torps. Anyway, I decided to check it out.

I reduced speed and came in at 13 knots towards the enemy ship. It was the dead of night, about 3 AM to be exact, and then I raised my scope to see A YAMATO CLASS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. It was partially on fire, and I still don't know why, but I didn't waste my chance. I was right in on her side and fired 2 of my 3 torps. Both hit, and one struck dead home in the ammo storage. The ship lit up the blackness and the sides blew completely out. She sank with all hands in under 30 SECONDS, still burning as she went down.:o

Needless to say, I was quite happy when I got back to Guam with over 250,000 tons under my belt. The currency I got from it also bought me all the torps a man could wish for.:rock:

Looks more like you hit it with one then after it blew up another torpedo hit on the bow end.

Here are a couple of shots of a new and rather worrying element I have experienced on two seperate occasions since downloading 1.3 Beta; Cannibal escorts, having 'at' each other, the filthy swines!

[joea]

It's a beta, don't worry about it. Did you install over mods?

I suggest a clean re-install when the real patch comes out...that's what I'll do.

[The General]

I did not install over Mods. According to another thread ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118141&page=2 ), 1.3 Beta is probably not the final version and so hopefully, the world will never witness the atrocities I have seen.

[stabiz]

If the escorts hit each other by accident, they will attack each other, they did this in SH3.

[SubCaptain62]

Location: off Honshu,Date: December 16, 1941, in the middle of the afternoon.There i was patrolling, looking for merchants to sink (no luck yet). I was though protecting my sub from search planes and other aircraft. I was doing good with that when, it happened. My air search radar had picked up two unknown aircraft (H6k's i later found out) coming up behind me. I waited at the AA gun for about a few seconds before i finally saw them. I quickly aimed the gun at the 2 incoming H6k's and started to fire. After a few seconds of firing i shot down the first one and then the next one. the first H6k veered away from my sub. then the second H6k headed straight for my sub. I could only watch as the craft clipped my sub then hit the water. Then damages from every part of the sub started popping up. Then my sub got destroyed and sank to the bottom. :o:x:damn:

My very first career with SH4 patch 1.3 + Taters Improved Campaign Layers ... Left Brisbane for the Solomon Islands on 10/6/42... Made it to the Solomons without incident... Engaged merchant on the surface with deckgun after torpedos either missed or didnt detonate... Damaged merchant heavily but she got away as the S class boat has a flank speed of only 7knots... Recieved no credit for the damage ...Patrolled the Solomons without getting any more contacts... Change of orders to patrol Truk Lagoon area and surrounding area... Plenty of planes detected by radar but luckily the S boat dives well... Weather is bad a lot of the time and now i realise the boat has used up a lot more fuel travelling in heavy seas... The batteries leave little to be desired and anything over 1 knot under water uses too much battery... Recieved a contact of a merchant but lost contact in heavy seas... The hydrophone operator either lost contact or could only tell me where it wasnt...Not sure if this was from fatigue or a malfunction or some other thing...No more contacts made and now i am desperately running out of fuel with all of this bad weather...Sober out...The weather cleared up on the rest of the way home and no incidents occured(fuel is now ok because we will use much less fuel in calm seas )... Returned to brisbane base and received new orders to rescue any downed airman in the vacinity of Solomon Islands... Made it to the solomon islands without incident but lots of radar contacts and frequent diving... Rescued some downed pilots and spotted aircraft again...Recieved new operational orders to deploy to the Caroline Islands... Seas are heavy , fog has increased to near zero visibilty...Many plane contacts recieved on the air warning radar...Sometimes we dive twenty times or more a day...The men are fatigued and the heavy seas and weather are taking there toll on the men...Sept 11th 1942 , miserable weather and we are hardly making any progress due to the bad weather...3 knots on the surface and 1 knot submerged...Weather has cleared and recieved orders to sink merchant shipping around the Caroline Islands...Something is wrong with the deck gun and will have to be fixed in port...We have no deck gun or anti aircraft guns...Patrolled the Caroline islands for a further three weeks with no ships sighted...Heading home due to lack of fuel...South of Caroline Islands picked up a radar signal and headed to intercept...Convoy consisted of two escorts and a huge troop liner...Fired four torpedoes at the liner but all missed...Couldnt surface to report convoy because too dangerous...Oct 4th 1942 , heading to Tulagi island for refuelling and more torpedoes...Recieved report of a convoy at 2deg north x 148deg east...Proceeded to the area and picked up a convoy on the radar...Sighted at least two destroyers and sounding of numerous large ships by the hydrophones...I decided to call off any attack because of wrong attack position , daybreak and numerous destroyers plus fog...Low on fuel...Weather clearing , fired torpedoes at two merchants but all torps missed...Sunk a sampan and a junk with the finally fixed deck gun...Reached Tulagi island and refitted...Heading to the Bismark Sea...

This bad a$$ tanker started giving me trouble south of Rabaul and I was shocked to see the searchlights on these tankers. He sighted my periscope second pic and started slinging lead, I couldn't surface for I was out of deck gun ammo ( too busy earlier sinking small freighters to save torps :roll: ) and of course both tankers started to scatter in different directions. Put two torps each in them but both got away as they each were doing 10 kts and I did not have enough juice left in the batteries. The pics are pretty dark and hard to see but the idea of their useing the searchlights ( and no DD around to help them either....bless their little hearts :rotfl: ) just made my day.

Correct me if I am wrong, but two torps per tanker should make it go ka-boom, no?

[Elder-Pirate]

Correct me if I am wrong, but two torps per tanker should make it go ka-boom, no?

Can't correct you and yes two torps each and no sinky, solly. :) I think patch 1.3 thickened their hides a little. :lol:

Course sometimes I'm a lousy shot. :roll:

[hyperion2206]

Correct me if I am wrong, but two torps per tanker should make it go ka-boom, no?

From my understanding takers rarely went ka-boom, because they had often raw oil or other stuff on board that's not easy to inflame. Furthermore these ships were build to resist: the oil was put into many small chambers so it wouldn't ignite etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but's that what they said in adocumentary.;)

[Sailor Steve]

There were tankers that blew up with one torpedo (avgas) and tankers that burned for days but never sank.

Nicholas Monsarrat talked in his book The Cruel Sea and his stories about sailors dying from suffocation in oily seas, and sailors trying to swim away getting caught in the flames. They burned, they didn't burn, they blew up, they didn't blow up, they sank, they didn't sink.

It shouldn't be predictable.

SILENT HUNTER 4 SILENT SERVICE PART I

I hope you like it!

THX!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC-UMJxZPjs

Soon PART II :)

Hi all, new guy here, first post. I haven't built my new PC yet (current one was put together in 2001, 4 more components to go before I put the new one together so I can play this sim), so I have the game on the desk, along with 2 others that'll need the horsepower and 2 gigs of ram and a DVD drive to install (current PC doesn't have a DVD drive).

Your video, both part 1 and part 2, were so well done I just had to come out of "lurker" mode and say that this was one of the BEST damn videos I had ever seen concerning this sim.

Brought a tear to my eye. :up:

Can't wait until I get the new PC up and running so I can play this. I had so much fun with the old DOS Silent Hunter I, and I've been waiting with worm on tongue (baited breath) for this one to come out! Oh, glad the patch is out, too. I knew there would be one.

[Sir Big Jugs]

Oh man! I can't believe how awesome this game is! I haven't been able to play with FPS over 5 earlier, but now that I finally got enough $$$ to upgrade my computer, I can only say it's an amazing experience!
It runs with over 50fps at all times, with all graphic settings maxed out, 1680x1050px and with 16x Anti-Aliasing!:sunny::rock::rock::rock::rock::sunny:

Great shot :up: :up:
Looks very realistic..

[Dreadnought99]

Mid '43...

During an attack on a small convoy with four escorting DDs off New Britain, I got a quite a few good shots off from periscope depth - took out one Shiratsuyu DD with a "down the throat" shot as it charged through the convoy at me after I killed two merchies and killed another two other DDs as they stopped to avoid collisions amongst the fleeing Marus! Diving to avoid the last DD, my boat took a DC pounding and suffered flooding casualty in the forward Torpedo Room and the Control Room and nearly went to the bottom...

The Damage Control team fought like hell to stop the flooding and save the boat...

...but it still looked like the flooding was going to win so I gave the order for an Emergency Surface near what appeared to be the edge of the convoy...prepared to man all guns to fight it out on the surface with the last DD and the armed Marus!

Came up 200 yards ahead and 25 degrees off the starboard bow of the last Shiratsuyu DD and with our boat's stern pointing straight at the Jap DD. The 4" forward was masked by the conning towerso it was up to the twin 20mm aft. I personally manned the light AA gun and as the forward Jap 5" fired (high!) and the one of the starboard 25mm mounts (the one forward of the bridge but behind the bow 5" turret) opened up, I let fly with a torrent of 20mm AP. A few 25mm rounds smacked into the aft deck of the boat so as the range was closing rapidly and the 25's fire a lot faster than the 5", I let the starboard 25mm mount have a good long burst...and it vapourised! Thinking the port 25mm mount was now unmasked, I gave it a serve...same result. Feeling pretty good but with the threat of the main armament still hanging over us (literally), I aimed straight at the bow 5" mount and just kept firing. Flame began to pour out of the top of the turret, then a small secondary explosion and a few seconds later the whole DD blew up! Still had around 30 rounds in the 20mm mag too...

Having taken some damage and with the flooding still being dealt, we headed away from the convoy to do some repairs but came back after nightfall (by jingo, radar's a handy thing!) and finished off 4 of the remaining 5 merchies...

Cheers,
Dreadnought99

Thanks:arrgh!:

[ernst_rohr]

Copied from my post over on the Ubisoft forums;

Well, I had one heck of a mission last night!

We got assigned to patrol the Celebes Sea (again) and after repair and refit, the USS Salmon headed out.

Ran across two solitary merchants on the way up the Borneo straight, sank both with gunfire.

Got intel on a large task force moving through the straight, and a despite best efforts, bad weather and positioning kept me from an intercept. That task force was really hauling!

Ran across one small coastal merchant (literally) at night in heavy fog. Merchie was armed with 20mm, boat submerged and went for a torpedo attack. Sank the merchie with a single torpedo hit.

With plenty of fish, I arrived at the patrol zone and motored around for the better part of two days. Nothing. Not a single ship sighting.
Headed north for a bit. Ditto. Not a single ship nor sonar contact.

Getting kind of disgusted, I headed back twoards the Borneo straight, since I KNEW there was shipping there. Set course for the straight, and just as we were clearing the ring of islands around the Celebes, ran smack into a HUGE convoy!

Apparently my watch crew were busy taking a snooze, because I literally drove into the side of the convoy before we saw it! Once crash dive later, and we snuck back up to scope depth to take a peek. There were at least a dozen or more merchant contacts and only a few warship contacts in sonar. Visibility was VERY poor, it was early evening and there were rain squalls rolling through, but even with that, I could see eight merchants and a Kuma class CL right smack in front of me, dead center in the convoy. No destroyers or other escorts in sight. Seas were fairly flat.

The convoy was doing about 4knts, so after juggling some numbers, I started lining up targets. Two fish fired at the Kuma, slow speed, two fish into a large old tanker, also slow speed, and then I ordered rudder hard over and started trying to line up shots with the stern tubes.

Kuma took both fish, solid hits. One right under the number two turret, one dead amidships. Several secondary explosions and the Kuma sank like a rock.

Both fish connected with the tanker HUGE explosion! Massive fires all over the tanker, but she stayed afloat, but rapidly taking on water.

Unlike 1.2, post 1.3, the effect of the two ships being hit was like kicking over an ant hill! Merchants scattered everywhere, and I gave up trying to get the stern tubes to bear. The merchants direction coupled with the poor visibility was making targeting impossible.

I dove deep and headed right into the convoy. I stayed deep and ran about 4 knots trying to keep up with the convoy while reloading. At 250ft, I had no sonar pings or any other indication that the escorts knew where I was.

Looking at the plot, it seemed I was getting ahead of the convoy, so I killed the engines and drifted, listening for escorts and trying to get an idea where the convoy was heading. Seems like it was a mess upstairs, ships were going in all directions, according to sonar.

After the bow tubes finished reloading, I rigged for silent and crept back up to the surface. Visibility was still garbage, and the seas were picking up, but I could see two composite freighters north of me, along with an escort, and six merchants to the north east, all jumbled together. Nothing to the south or west.

Apparently, in all the running around, a couple of ships had collided, and there was a snarl of three smaller ships all in one clump, and three others maneuvering around them. All six of the merchants to the NE were all stop or making 2 knots, so I figured this was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

All four bow tubes were fired at a range of 2400 yards, all slow. Two at 10 feet depth, two for keel shots. Had one torp detonate premature about 500 yards out, other three fish ran to target. One solid contact hit on a small split merchant, which immediately caught fire and began to list badly. 1st keel torp ran deep and failed to detonate. 2nd keel torp ran straight and true and detonated under a composite merchant. Two large secondary explosions were seen, and the ship broke in two.

Then I got stupid!

Instead of shooting and scooting, I got greedy. I still had four merchants sitting right in front of me, and I went to line up stern tubes and go for broke.

Really bad idea!

This time, someone spotted my scope, and four VERY irate escorts came charging in at flank speed. I figured this out when one of them obligingly whanged a shell off of the scope! Crash dive time!

Went deep, turned into the two coming at me from the north (the closest ones) to minimize my profile and went deep. Didnt help. These guys had me cold apparently and they depth charged the hell out of me on the way down.

Major damage to the scopes, hydrophones, batteries, and flooding in the diesel engines and stern torpedo room. Started trying to level out the boat, no go, she is sinking like a rock. All ahead flank, and emergency blow! Damage control jumps on the flooding.

200.... 250... 300...350...375...
375...360...350..345..

Slowly the boat starts crawling back up.

Takes almost 30 minutes, but with the engines going all out, the boat hits the surface! Success!

Except were are dead smack in the middle of the convoy!

The crew tumbles topside, and I can hear alarms going off like crazy in the convoy. Visibility is still garbage, but almost immediately I hear shots bouncing off our hull. There is a small coastal almost dead ahead of us, and he is armed with a 20mm and he is doing his dead level best to sweep our decks.

Two of the watch crew are hit and wounded, and our deck gun is to the rear and cant bear on him. I order a course change and swing the deck gun all the way around. As soon as the gun comes to bear, I start slamming rounds into the coastal. This gunfight is definitely not going his way, with his one 20mm coming up short against our 4". Four shots later and he is burning amidships and to the stern, and the 20mm falls slient.

The destroyers are reversing course and making a beeline for my position, so we turn sharply to keep a large composite between us and the destroyers, but we are in big trouble! As we pull alongside the composite, another freighter opens up on us with a naval gun. He nails us good, and another watch crew goes down, along with damage to the conning tower.

The deck gun swings back into action. I can barely make out the offending ship, but he is far enough away that I can get a good drop on his hull. We slammed several shots into his stern deck to suppress or kill the deck gun, and follow up with five shots along the waterline. She starts going down noticeably at the bow and listing.

In the meantime, I can see splashes to our bow and stern and it sounds like the freighter I am hiding behind is getting the hell beat out of it by the converging destroyers. Sure enough, 30 seconds later and the composite starts smoking and small fires start to break out on deck, caused by friendly fire from her own escorts!

Time for us to go!

Hard to port and running at flank, we break for the listing composite I shot up earlier. I can see another coastal, and a small tanker trying to make their way around the listing larger ship. Figuring I wasnt going to get a better opportunity, I jump to the torpedo surface mount and line up a quick shot for each of them. First shot on the coastal is a dud, first shot on the tanker is a solid hit and she bursts into flame and smoke. Follow up shot on the coastal is a clean miss, and I hold the last bow tube just in case.

Spinning around, I can see one of the destroyers trying to come around the big composite they have been shooting up. I finally get to fire the stern tubes and put two fish into the DD. She goes up in a fireball, but not before she slams a couple of rounds into the sub, knocking out the electric engines and damaging the dive planes.

Roaring past the listing freighter from earlier, I send a fish into the friendly fire merchie, and one into the listing one. The big composite takes a solid hit, and I get an "Enemy Destroyed" message almost immediately, but I cant see any real effect on the ship, and she continues to sit dead level and moving slowly. O_o

We turn to North East and start to run back along the path of the convoy. Shots start slamming into the sub, and more messages about flooding and damage. Hydrophones are out, AA gun is damaged, bow planes damaged, more flooding and I cant see who the hell is shooting me!

We run past another merchant, who gallantly takes a couple of rounds for us, and I use the opportunity to slam a few more shells from the deck gun into the listing composite.

Then I see the destroyer who has been shooting me up swing past the clump of ships behind me. Switching to AP rounds, I start trading shots with the destroyer, NOT a position I care to be in!

The destroyer slams shots into the sub, and my bow planes are gone, more damage to the batteries and several crew are injured. There are a whole lot of big nasty holes in the sub!

Our shots are a lot more accurate, and the bow of the DD gets peppered repeatedly. I get solid hits to the bow, the front turret, and the bridge. Gunfire from the front turret stops, but the DD continues to close, and I slam more shots into her.

After a good solid twenty rounds of AP, the destroyer heaves to port, starts smoking and goes dead in the water. The USS Salmon isnt in much better shape!

Visibility is getting worse as night falls, but we run flat out away from the convoy. I can hear depth charges going off and I can see flashes from behind me. Once again, as I clear the rear of the convoy, one of the merchants opens up on me with a stern mounted gun. I am getting rather sick of armed merchantmen an this point!

Yet another gun duel breaks out and the merchant manages to nail the diesel engines and the deck gun, damaging the former and knocking out the latter. I line up and fire the one stern tube the crew has managed to reload, and the merchant takes a solid hit and starts to burn. She continues to shoot, and I take more hits, but no more systems are knocked out.

I have no idea what the other two DD's are up to, but I am not complaining. I manage to limp the boat away from the convoy, and in the darkness and bad visibility, we slip away.


After a few hours, most of the damage is repaired, but the hull is swiss cheese, my dive planes are gone, the electric engines are gone, the periscopes are gone, as is the hydrophone. I have a few dead crew (I think) and several injured. I have never seen any boat this shotup before, and I am making REALLY poor speed due to all the damage. Diving is right out of the question, and since it looks like its going to take a while to crawl home, I saved the game and called it a night!

[Ducimus]

Stay out of his active sonar cone, and be very quiet. Or in game terms, i made a 3800 yard shot fan shot of 4 fish on a 90 degree track.. 2 misses, and 2 hits. The single mission is EASY because he travels in a straight line and isnt patrollling. Could i take him out in a campaign game? I'd have to roll the dice on that one. A down the throat shot on him once he's aware of you is damn near impossible. You have to chatch him unaware.

While inside the sub, press Shift+F2.
Presto!

That dosent seem to do anything except magnify the view....:D

Have you tried moving around? ;)
It's like the free cam. I did not know this either. I kind of missed this feature. I felt stuck. So cool it is in the game after all.
Thanks Sir Big Jugs! ;)

Ok, lets see. When you are inside the sub (command center/whatever) you press Shift+F2 simultaneously. The view should change a bit. Then, you click anywhere in view (like when you are in free outside view), to "melt the mouse" into the screen. Then you use the arrow keys and you're mouse to move around, should work.:)

You can do quite a bit of running around with the "Shift+2 camera like a few samples here:

I rarely use this camera but when I do I tear off tops of subs and look through helms-man noses. :lol: :arrgh!:
